Harvey and Everlaw: what the planned integration means for litigators
Harvey and Everlaw plan an evidence integration. What Australian litigation teams should verify about availability, source citations and matter access.
Published · Announced 3 September 2026
For litigation teams using or evaluating Harvey and Everlaw
Harvey announced on 3 September that it is building an integration with Everlaw using Model Context Protocol (MCP). The intended workflow lets joint customers search and retrieve evidence held in Everlaw from within Harvey, with outputs linked to source documents.
The announcement expects availability in US autumn 2026. It describes planned capability, rather than a confirmed Australian release. Proposed uses include early case assessment, chronologies and preparation for witness questioning.
Our assessment
Keep the evidence trail intact
For an Australian disputes practice, the useful test is whether a lawyer can move from an AI proposition to the exact underlying record. A polished chronology has limited value if dates, attachments or document versions cannot be checked. Treat availability and access controls as procurement questions before planning a matter around the connection.
Key takeaways for your firm
- Ask both vendors to confirm Australian availability, required subscriptions and rollout timing.
- Pilot on an approved closed matter and check each chronology entry against its evidence.
- Test restricted matters, redacted documents and access revocation before opening live collections.
